Top hotels in Britannia Heights
The Wheelhouse Inn
Bedrooms and lobby area all urgently need curtains. First priority in any accommodation is getting a good nights sleep which we didn’t due to the lack of curtains. With the missing curtains addressed it would be 5* as a great place with fantastic views.

The Beachcomber Hotel
We were on a queen room. The bed was comfortable and the room a good size. It has recently been refurbished to a good standard. There is a microwave, coffee plunger and crockery but washing up all as to be done in the bathroom sink which is a bit odd.

Lovely, large and modern studio apt adjacent to the quaint original farmhouse and garden. The owners were great and very helpful. They let you do laundry for free
